Shocking development: Wii Fit is in high demand among online shoppers  photo

Of course, most of us are already aware that Nintendo could wrap up a dead cat in their trademark white packaging and could probably manage to sell it to a billion people if they marketed it right, but it still somehow amazes me that they still have such a chokehold on the general consumer. The reign of the ridiculously happy continues as the Wii Fit tops a list of the most searched consumer products on the internet.

The Wi closely follows behind it, and both products beat out the iPhone and iPod. In comparison, the PS3 came in sixth place. I swear, it makes me feel like the world is on crazy pills. Doesn't everyone on earth have a Wii by now?

What is probably not so shocking is the number of people who purchase Wii-Fit with every intention of using it, only to discard it after a week. Exercise is exercise.

All joking aside, my mom wants one.

I have mine since the dtoid review atleast! Checking in every day and that little in-game balance board is so proud of me.

Great way of keeping track of yourself but as actual exercise I dunno.

They should make a Time Crisis clone and start putting that thing to use.
